Given Up All Hope :-(


I have now given up all hope for ttc i dont know if its cos im feeling on a downer bcos all my friends have just given birth to beautiful babies!
Ive been trying to concieve since march after I had 2 m/c. My AF was always on time and now since august my cycles have been going 40-45 days before AF comes...im just so frustrated i want a baby desparetly.
I have no one to talk to as no one understands...my mam doesnt even understand why i want to be pregnant and keeps telling i want nothing being a grandmother etc.
Im startting to feel theres something wrong with me and that maybe ile never be able to have kids
Sorry im just soo Peeved off i needed a rant.

Sorry to hear you're having a down day sweetie. Rest assured that we all have days like this I'm sure. I find chocolate or red wine a good cure at times like this!

Rant away hun, but don't give up hope! You know the reward will be so worth it

I know how hard it is seeing friends around you 'graduate' and have beautiful babies. It can really make you feel awful, but that's when I find these boards helpful as there are so many ladies who 'get' you.

It is totally natural to feel the way you do, especially after you have experienced losses. I have had 2 m/cs and my daughter Lucy was born sleeping at 37 weeks. There are days when I wonder if I can go through any more heartache and wonder if I will have any more losses BUT, you just have to ask yourself one question - can you go through it just one more time? If the answer is yes then that is all you need to know. It is a heartbreaking jourmey sometimes but I have read so many positive outcomes over the net that I am sure most of us will get our happy endings soon

It can be so frustrating though when your body seems to want to play you up, Mother Nature can be a total beeatch sometimes. Are you temping at all? Do you know when/if you are ovulating? Have you tried Agnus castus? After my second m/c my cycles went screwy for a couple of months. I was told to take Agnus castus to try and help with this and sure enough my cycles returned ot 28 days. Now whether this was def. down to the AC I will never know for sure, but I have heard a lot of women have success with it in terms of sorting their cycles out. I would also say maybe speak to your GP about it, rather than let it get you down hun try and take some control back.

I really hope you get your soon!!

Sending you lots of

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So sorry to hear you are down. Have you been charting to see when you are ovulating? Maybe you are just missing it because its hard to judge with long cycles? Baby dust and hope you get your bfp soon!

No problem hun, to be honest I have never temped myself but if you wanted to do it there's loads of ladies on here who can help.

Agnus castus is basically a natural herbal remedy that is supposed to help with cycles, especially if your normal cycle has been disrupted.
You can get it from health food shops like Holland and Barratt, you take 3 - 6 tablets daily during your cycle. If you are TTC that cycle just take it up to when you Ovulate as it's not good to take in early pregnancy.

Really hope tomorrow brings a brighter day for you hun

xxxx

Please don't give up hope zoe87! We have been ttc #2 for a year now (have just ovulated in my 13th cycle), after conceiving #1 in 2 months! I know how hopeless it can feel sometimes.
Definitely try online charting - I only started this back in august and I know my cycle far better now. I use fertilityfriend.com and got my fertility thermometer from babymad.com. WHen you join ff (free, unless you want to use some extra features) they'll e-mail you a series of tutorials teaching you all about charting and give you advice about your cycle once you've started charting.

This is how I discovered my luteal phase (the days after ovulation) is too short, which can stop you getting pregnant. I am now taking a B vitamin supplement, after reading a fantastic thread on here called "B6 - Lengthen Luteal Phase or Increase Progesterone". It moves from discussing B6 to a complex of all the B vitamins, which is supposed to be more balanced.

A lot of women use Agnus Castus to regulate their periods - if I don't get a BFP this cycle I think I'll try it too. You can only take it before ovulation though, so best to use it only if you're charting or know exactly when you ovulate. Feel free to pm me or write me a visitor message if you want to chat.
Don't give up hope!!! PMAPMAPMA!
